But the graph actually shows the opposite: Notice how there is no change until year 2000, and only after that do wildfires get larger. And they get larger - and then stay at a larger size, they don't keep getting larger. Their trendline is so inaccurate it's basically false info. Climate change did not start in year 2000, what did change then is wildfire policy: "The Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Bureau of Indian Affairs joined the other two agencies by implementing fire use programs in the late 1990s and early 2000s." https://fireecology.springeropen.com/articles/10.4996/fireecology.0302003 https://fireecology.springeropen.com/articles/10.4996/fireec...
